Arsenal — Colorado Rapids (U.S.)

Aston Villa — Vitoria Guimaraes (Portugal)

Brighton & Hove Albion — Union Saint-Gilloise (Belgium)

Chelsea — Strasbourg (France)

Crystal Palace — Botafogo (Brazil), Lyon (France), RWD Molenbeek (Belgium), AD Alcorcon (Spain), ADO Den Haag (Netherlands), FC Augsburg (Germany), Real Salt Lake (U.S.), Waasland-Beveren (Belgium)

Manchester City — Bahia (Brazil), Girona (Spain), Lommel SK (Belgium), Melbourne City (Australia), Montevideo City Torque (Uruguay), Mumbai City (India), New York City FC (U.S.), Palermo (Italy), Sichuan Jiuniu (China), Troyes AC (France), Yokohama F Marinos (Japan)

Nottingham Forest — Olympiacos (Greece)

Sheffield United — Al Hilal United (UAE), Beerschot VA (Belgium), Kerala United (India), LB Chateauroux (France)

Crystal Palace should really be exploiting Botafogo and Lyon like (maybe not now as they’re total garbage). Could cherry pick their younger starlets who want a move to London/PL and sell on for a quick profit.

Why would Brighton and Bournemouth not want this btw? Weird they vote against it?

This was just a temporary ban. If they have no intention of moving players between their clubs in January they may as well vote in favour to stifle us short-term then see how things are leading up to the summer window.

Someone explain to a backwards person like me so as I know if we are in a bettor or worse position than this time yesterday with this news

Well it's no worse. Basically they voted on a proposal that would have stopped us loaning players from PIF-owned clubs in January but that proposal was not passed. So if we wanted to loan Neves (for example) there's nothing stopping us.

People on about why would these teams block it, have any of them ever used a loan from the club they are linked with?

 

I can only think of Lampard going to City off the top of my head must be more though?

I love how some clubs are annoyed at Sheffield United because of their Saudi owners. :lol: Regardless of who owns them they are entitled to vote whatever way they want. Infact, they could easily be using their Saudi links to dip into that league as well but no one wants to mention them because the entire thing is driven by some of top 6 clubs who are only interested in us closing the gap on them, something they know the likes of Sheffield United have no intention of doing.

Brighton send their players outwards to get experience. They don’t loan in from their partner clubs. Understand the proposed ban was inwards only.Not sure about Bournemouth.

So they're voting against a rule that they themselves exploit in Belgium? :lol:

 

They can get to fuck.

I was of the opinion we probably shouldn't get involved in these loans because it is shite optics, but fuck these cunts.

 

Doing everything they can think of to stop us, we should shithouse to the max.

Absolutely. If it’s in the rules who gives a fuck how it looks or what they think!

Got a feeling this will be like the 5 subs rule. They'll just continue to put it up for a vote until it eventually passes and then that'll be that. They'll wait until Sheff U go down and try again and it'll (probably rightly) pass. It's a rule that could benefit us in the short term but it's not great for the game in general just moving players around a group of owned clubs on a whim, Watford/Udinese have taken the piss recently - not broken any rules but it's not 'right' imo

Totally agree, and I’m sure there will guidelines inserted between now and next season. 
 

 But fuck it take the piss while we can, 2 season loans with 30% wages payed by us.

 

Fuck FFP, Fuck The premier league entitled boys.

Yeah but our injuries aren’t right. When needs must! :indi:

I mean it's quite ridiculous and funny that we aren't allowed to spend £50m on Neves if we wanted to because that would break FFP rules but we are allowed to just use the Saudi connection and loan a £50m player for free.
